Our old Scout Master brought me back a “cake” from Philadelphia two years ago… it was “Philadelphia German Butter Cake”. He gave me a whole cake and said try this and let me know what you think…. Well the top of the cake actually would run if you tipped it. I know, your thinking gross, but it was wonderful. The top was like a butter syrup that was somewhat runny. It was very rich, but with a cup of coffee, it was “fabulous”!
Last year, I spent eight months in Philadelphia moving a data center for a client and tried (in desperation) to find a bakery that had a Philadelphia Butter Cake or a German Butter Cake and everyone looked at me like I was out of my gourd when I explained what the cake was like. Well this month, he took me to the bakery where he bought the cake. It’s the “My Old Place Bakery” in Lansdown, PA. If you want a butter cake, call a head and reserve one (610-259-4000), because they generally only make them on Saturday / Sunday and they go quick. The day that we stopped in to get one, they had sold out and told us they would have more at 1PM; however, our schedule did not allow us to stop back into the Bakery. For me, it’s worth the 1:15 min drive every once in a while.

Last night was the Band Camp Preview show for the parents. We got to see the results of two weeks worth of intense training. The show is really looking good! I think that this is the furthest along we’ve seen a show at this point in the season. They have two numbers down with drill and the third and fourth they are still working on… but it looks good.
They are doing a theme of Wizards and War (somehow the music relates to the Harry Potter Movies). The music tells a story of a battle between two wizards and their armies. The arrangements are written for Symphonic Band and have been adapted for the marching band. We are going to have some cool chess pieces on the filed (castles) that go along with the show. I can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end of the year!
